(More customer reviews)The two previous reviewers may have had good intentions, but misleading information.
Reviewer 1) The problem is one of two things - only one worthy of any criticism at all:
a) Skateboards need to be adjusted. The kingpin nut is adjusted to allow the trucks to turn more/less easily, to taste, and to suit the rider's weight. Your "son" might be a little guy, not weighing much, and might require more than just an adjustment - that's no fault of the manufacturer. If he is:
b) The bushings in cheap trucks are often cheap, and more often than not, firm. Compounding that, this board puts the trucks on angles, meaning they will turn tighter when they turn - but it's simple physics that with the kingpins on angles, it takes more effort to turn. That's the trade off, always, with this design. Lighter riders also weigh less, so can provide less force to turn the board. All this adds up to one thing: You probably just need to invest in good, soft bushings for the trucks. They are about $5/set. Look for Khiro soft or med-soft bushings. It'll make those trucks work with that board's mounting angles and a lighter guys' weight.
Reviewer 2) It's not a drop through, it's a drop deck. It's hardly misleading wording on part of this seller. It's obviously not a drop-through to anyone who is shopping for a drop-through board. But it absolutely is a drop deck board - the deck surface is lower than perhaps even a drop-through, and the trucks are on angles on top of that, to facilitate the drop design. This is a common longboard design. A bit unfair to give a 1 star rating for a slight misnomer, given this absolutely is a drop deck, and it sounds like you don't even own it.
